Brazil's Bolsonaro Causes Global Outrage Over Amazon Fires

Associated Press

   PORTO VELHO, BRAZIL - The Group of Seven nations on Monday pledged $20
   million to help Amazon countries fight fires, even as Brazilian
   President Jair Bolsonaro said rich countries were treating the region
   like a "colony."

   The G-7 pledge came despite tensions between European countries and the
   Brazilian president, who suggested the West was angling to exploit
   Brazil's natural resources.

   "Look, does anyone help anyone -- not including poor people, you know
   -- without something in return? What have they wanted there for so
   long?" he said to journalists outside the presidential palace.
